More amulets on Flickr

Take a look at the new additions to the PRM 'Amulet' set on Flickr. These taster images will form the basis of the Small Blessings online gallery, which will be launched later this year and feature much more in-depth descriptions and research. Helen

About

‘Small Blessings’ (2012) was an Arts Council England funded project that sought to animate the Pitt Rivers Museum’s eclectic amulet collections - in particular, a specific collection derived from Sir Henry Wellcome. Here the project team blogged about the research, documentation, and interpretation of these intriguing objects, and it is where we will continue to explore themes of folklore, magic, superstition, talismans and charms within the Pitt Rivers Museum's global collections.

We are committed to improving the understanding of, and access to, our collections as well as sharing what we've learnt.
